Curveball
I love every dress from Kate Spade but could not wear this one. It just wasn't flattering. As others mentioned if you are bigger on top or have more curves the pleats add more volume than I wanted. It made my waist line disappear but not in a good way. On a positive note the Color is very vibrant! Would recommend for anyone who is tall or thin with more of a straight body type.

Summertime Favorite!
I normally wear size 14 but other reviewers mentioned this dress ran large. I found it to be true to size as the 12 was a bit snug on me around the hips. This dress was too cute to pass up so I still wore it to my event. Perfect for a summer rooftop party and can easily be dressed up or down. Loved the construction of this dress.

Not what I expected
I had my eye on this dress for quite a while so was super excited to wear it. The deep navy color and fit was perfect. However, the skirt was a bit off. Could be my short height but the skirt seemed to swallow me up and add more volume to my hips. Not the look I wanted so didn't end up wearing it. Would be great for a taller person where skirt isn't so long and full.

Too pretty to pass up!
I ordered this dress in a size 12 which was too tight to zip, and a 14W too big to wear. Loved the material and color but could not wear. I'm a true size 14 and that size isn't available. If it was I'd definitely try it again!

Kate Spade never disappoints!
The color, quality and detailing on this dress are amazing. Anytime I wear this brand I know I'm getting a quality made dress. The material is heavy like others said in their reviews so it may not be the best choice for a hot day on the beach but would be perfect for a cooler summer night. I wore it for a casual summer day at work and shopping. Received so many compliments on the color!!

Comfortable dress for everyday
Rented for an afternoon lunch with family. It was very comfortable and a cute pattern. The material is lightweight and has a lining so wasn't worried about it being see through.

Better than expected
This was a backup dress because my original dress was returned damaged but I was surprised by how perfect it fit and the quick fix by customer service to update my order! I loved the bright pink color and the flow of the skirt and bell sleeves. It was lovely for a Mother's Day lunch. I would definitely wear it again.

Cute skirt
I wanted to wear this dress to work or for brunch. The skirt was perfect and top was a bit too long for my short torso and the waist too tight. Sad I couldn't wear it.

Perfect for any occasion
I'm usually a size 14 but was able to fit into this dress due to the full skirt which I loved. The structure of the dress was amazing and material was perfect for a spring party with the weather still on the cooler side. The only issue I had was the top being a little too low cut and tight for me.

Not my style
The material of the dress, pastel color and flowers were beautiful. I really wanted to wear it but the skirt was way too short for me, even though it was a fun flirty skirt with plenty of room around the hips. Great for a younger look. And the top was more revealing than I wanted. Perfect for a a fun date night!

Floral pattern is elegant
I rented this for a family photo and am glad I did. I was expecting the dress to be white but much happier when it arrived and was a pale pink color. The floral pattern was amazing for photos and the dress was very elegant. Great material and love the flow of the front skirt pleats. My only disappointment was the size. I normally wear a 14 and had to wear the 16 which was still way too tight on top and through the hips. The dress was also much shorter than I would normally wear but it was too beautiful to not squeeze into for our photos!

Very light material
I rented this dress for an engagement party but didn't end up wearing it. The dress was too small and the next size up wasn't available. The color was very pretty but the material was much lighter than I expected and it seemed to have a drop waist which didn't work for my shape. Wish I could have worn.

Spring bouquet!
This dress was stunning. At first I wasn't sure of the length since I'm short but with the right shoes it was perfect. I'm still struggling to find dresses that fit my post-pregnancy body but this dress was perfect in all the right spots. So comfortable and stretchy material on top. My favorite RTR dress so far! Would definitely wear this one again!

Sequins made a statement!
The dress was fitted but also had some stretch to it which was perfect since I was newly pregnant when I wore this fitted dress. Loved the sheer arms to cover my trouble area.

Pretty vibrant color
I selected this dress for an Easter brunch but didn't end up wearing it. The dress fit comfortably and had pockets, but was a bit revealing on top and the cut of the pockets seemed to accent my hips making them appear wider than they are.

Loved all the lace!
The dress was a beautiful dress for a fancy Easter brunch. I felt very comfortable in this dress and loved how fancy and feminine it looked. The color was such a soft shade but just enough color to show through the lace. I'm a bit short waisted so the torso didn't quite fit. It did cover my hips and the length of the skirt was perfect and so was the flow of the skirt, and pockets!!

Loose through the top
I rented this dress for work and my anniversary lunch. It was a pretty dress which received a lot of compliments. I normally wear a size 14 but went with the 12 because of the reviews. They were true and I found the top to be a little happy around the chest and arms. The waist was quite tight and the skirt had plenty of room but due to my height felt a little too long and hung past my knees.

Not the right fit
I didn't end up wearing this dress. The fit was too tight on my hips and baggy through the top but I'm more of an hourglass shape and this straight silhouette did not fit me correctly. Beautiful color and material though, would have liked to wear it.

I wore this dress for my daughter's dedication and it was perfect!
The color is beautiful and fabric is high quality. I'm short waisted so the top of the dress bunched a little at the waist but I loved the cap sleeves and how it fit everywhyelse.
